Re: Starratt-Jenks Morgan 45 info-opinions

I send them Yesterday.
I have original 45 Morgan 1966 that is before they sold mold.
It's in bad shape with rigging,companion door and hatch missing wood in fer condition except floor.
I'm good carpenter and we have canvas shop so I don't have problem with interior .
Deck is ok rudder also but engine need to go out.
Thank you
Peck

Many of them were sold as kits, so it may be hard to find out much other than hull and rigging plans, but then again....you never know till you try.

As for the ratio I think you will need to back into the ratio based on the engine and propeller size. If you can look up the available ratios for that transmission that will give you a go by. Then you need the propeller size and pitch which should be stamped on the hub of the prop. Then I'd go to an online propeller calculator which I've seen several. You plug in the parameters as best as you can guess using different ratio's until the end result matches you propeller. This seems rather un scientific but it should work unless the available ratios are so close to each other you don't get significant differentiation to tell. If they have 1.5, 1.9. 2.5 something like that then you should be able decide. I need to change the ratio on Mysti and I've been playing with this for a year trying to figure out the best ratio based on the max propeller size I can use and there doesn't seem to be any hard fast rules that I can find.

The key factors are engine HP and max RPM, the propellers # of blades, size and pitch, and transmission ratio. I'd be surprised if any two of these boats were exactly the same. You should be in the area of 2:1.

These are my thoughts: use at your own peril.

Interesting posts on the serial number. Where would I look for the inside serial number? Also my paperwork matches the outside number, and I got the boat from the original owner (via the insurance company). Also, I had a Perkins Prima 50 with a Hurth Transmission. Through a stroke of bad luck, my transmission has disappeared from my mechanic's shop. So to replace it, they asked what the gear ratio was? I have no idea as there was no owners manual. Anybody have a clue?

An interesting note on the HIN. On Mysti the HIN indicates it was built in 1976 but it wasn't completed and titled until 1982. So the titled year and build year is 6 years off. I've wondered how many of these boats S-J built and if the serial numbers are a clue I'm surprised to see a 00385 in the serial number in 1988. Mysti is 00010 from 1976 so that's about 30 boats a year which seems like a lot to me.

What is interesting about your HIN is that the position of the O is supposed to indicate the month in 1988 that it was built but 0 is not actually used to designate a month. Have you verified the HIN on the exterior and interior?

Any way it is a C?
